Sprint is launching new pricing plans that the company hopes to simplify wireless plan purchase for its customers. The new pricing plans will start on June 15. Here is more info:

Building on the popularity of Sprint's $99 Simply Everything plan, new share plans for families will include unlimited messaging and data for one low price, so there's no calculator needed to figure out wireless costs for the whole family's favorite services.

The new simplified pricing makes choosing the right plan to fit each customer's needs and budget as easy as 1 - 2 - 3:

1. Choose an individual plan for a single line or a share plan for multiple lines. 2. Choose voice only, voice with unlimited messaging, or voice with unlimited messaging and unlimited data. 3. Choose the number of minutes.

For individuals, new voice-only Talk plans will be available for $39.99 for 450 minutes or $59.99 for 900 minutes. These plans join the Talk/Message/Direct Connect(R) plans introduced in February at $49.99 for 450 minutes, $69.99 for 900 minutes or $89.99 for unlimited minutes; and the Everything plans introduced in February at $69.99 for 450 minutes, $89.99 for 900 minutes or $99.99 for Simply Everything with unlimited minutes.

For families, options will include a voice-only Talk Share plan for $69.99 for 700 minutes shared between two lines; new Talk/Message Share plans for $99.99 for 1500 minutes or $149.99 for 3000 minutes; and new Talk/Message/Data Share plans for $129.99 for 1500 minutes or $169.99 for 3000 minutes. Additional lines are $9.99 per line for Talk Share and Talk/Message Share plans and $19.99 for Talk/Message/Data Share plans.

In most cases, these simplified options from Sprint also provide a greater value over other major competitors' offerings, with more features included at a lower price.

For example, with the new Talk/Message/Data Share plan, customers will be able to get 3000 minutes to share between two lines for $169.99. This is less than competitors charge for the same number of minutes, with the extra value of additional services included at no extra charge:

With data included in the monthly cost, customers can take advantage of the blazing data speeds of Sprint Mobile Broadband on their phones. Sprint Mobile Broadband brings customers instant gratification so they can get what they want when they want it, with fast file downloads, Web browsing, GPS navigation, email access and more. Exclusive applications like NFL Mobile and NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile are included (availability varies by network/phone).

The new pricing will be available starting June 15 to new and existing Sprint customers. Existing customers can switch to a new plan without extending their contract. New line activations require a 2-year agreement per line (taxes and surcharges excluded). To sign up for the new plans, customers should visit a Sprint retail store or call 1-800-Sprint1.
